From a unipolar to a multipolar world: An interview with Pepe Escobar
From a unipolar to a multipolar world: An interview with Pepe Escobar
Oh come on Hoohoo, you've got your own drivel thread. Don't be afraid to use it.
Yes. It is criminal that there ever was a unipolar world. But most people don't even know that we've been living in a unipolar defacto one world govt dictatorship.
I would put it to you it has already happened. The diminishing echo chamber created by western politicians and compliant media is often not representative of todays world as a whole. Tbh, the theme is a bit old hat- was reading about this in investment circles over 20 years ago. Then, it was forecast or even speculation. Now it is reality- and too often, 'we' are in denial.
OK ohno, now’s the time to make your thread officially another cheerleading for China thread.
I'll put any countries statements that highlight a Multipolar World approach here.
Although there have been many previous posts, where they call for a Multipolar World.
Here are some from China in this past week:
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin’s Regular Press Conference on May 23, 2022
The Paper:
A gathering of trade ministers of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) group on May 21 and 22 failed to issue a joint statement after some members introduced the issue of Russia-Ukraine conflict into the meeting. At the Ministers Responsible for Trade (MRT) Meeting, representatives from the US, Canada, New Zealand, Japan and Australia walked out during remarks by Russia’s representative to protest Russia's "invasion" of Ukraine. Do you have any comment?
Wang Wenbin:
"Under the chairmanship of Thailand, the 28th APEC Ministers Responsible for Trade (MRT) Meeting has achieved positive and pragmatic outcomes in such areas as supporting multilateral trading regime, advancing the Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific, strengthening connectivity and developing the green economy and the digital economy. China appreciates the positive role of Thailand in all these. APEC is a platform for economic cooperation and the MRT Meeting is an occasion to discuss issues relating to economy and trade. All parties should respect APEC’s nature as an economic forum and the mandate of the meeting itself, focus on economic and trade issues and avoid introducing geopolitical issues. Regrettably, the MRT Meeting this time failed to issue a joint statement of ministers due to the introduction of sensitive political issues by certain members, which is the last thing China and many other APEC members hope to see.
APEC is an important economic cooperation mechanism in the Asia Pacific. All parties should respect APEC’s nature as an economic forum and the mandate of the meeting itself, focus on economic and trade issues, and avoid introducing geopolitical issues. Under the current circumstances, all members in the Asia Pacific call for solidarity against COVID-19 and effort to promote economic recovery. China firmly supports Thailand’s role as this year’s APEC chair to promote positive progress in APEC cooperation across the board. China stands ready to work with all APEC members to focus on this year’s theme and priorities, advance cooperation following the established agenda, promote the implementation of the APEC Putrajaya Vision 2040, and jointly build the Asia-Pacific community with a shared future."
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Wang Wenbin’s Regular Press Conference on May 24, 2022
Xinhua News Agency:
Can you share more information on State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit? What’s China’s expectation of this visit?
Wang Wenbin:
China sets great store by its friendly relations with Pacific Island Countries and Timor-Leste. As developing countries in the Asia-Pacific, China and the relevant countries are good friends and good partners pursuing common development on the basis of mutual respect, equality and mutual benefit. The development of friendly and cooperative relations between China and those countries serves the fundamental and long-term interests of the two sides, and contributes to peace, stability and prosperity in the Asia-Pacific region.
At present, China-Pacific Island Countries relations have shown a sound momentum of development, with our comprehensive strategic partnership deepening. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the restoration of independence of Timor-Leste and the 20th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic ties between China and Timor-Leste. The relationship between China and Timor-Leste has been presented with an important opportunity of development. During the visit, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi will have separate talks with foreign ministers of these countries and meet with heads of state and heads of government. This visit by State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi will further enhance the political mutual trust between China and these countries, elevate our cooperation in various sectors to a new level, bring new vitality to the long-term development of bilateral relations and make positive contribution to the peace, stability and development in the Asia-Pacific."
CRI:
Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei recently reappointed Maria Consuelo Porras Argueta de Porres as the Attorney General. She was designated and included in the “Engel list” by the US government last year for “obstruction of justice”. A statement of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the Department’s website reads that the US is designating Attorney General of Guatemala Maria Consuelo Porras Argueta de Porres and her husband due to her involvement in “significant corruption”. Porras and her immediate family members are ineligible for entry into the US. When touching on the decision of reappointing Porras, President Alejandro Giammattei said he will not attend the Summit of the Americas in the US. Some other countries have also said they will not attend the Summit. What is China’s comment?
Wang Wenbin:
We have noted relevant reports. The US has been putting together small cliques and suppressing dissenting voices under the cover of democracy, human rights and anti-corruption. It has been willfully abusing unilateral sanctions and trying to interfere in and manipulate domestic affairs of Latin American countries, which constitute grave infringement on the sovereignty and dignity of regional countries. The US move wins no support. It is guided by the Monroe Doctrine in nature, as the US puts itself above other countries and engages in power politics, hegemony and bullying. Latin American countries, including Guatemala, know this well.
I want to stress that Latin America is not a “front court” or a “backyard” of the US. And the Summit of the Americas is not the Summit of the United States of America. It is China’s position that all regional cooperation frameworks should follow the trend of peace and development, boost mutual trust and cooperation between regional countries, and avoid being selective or exclusive. China welcomes the development of relations between countries in the Americas on the basis of mutual respect, equal treatment and non-interference in each other’s internal affairs. We hope the summit can truly focus on the shared agenda of the region, step up solidarity and cooperation, and promote people’s wellbeing."
If you have any yourself, please utilise this thread, if you want.Our assembly of TD members have greater knowledge of some countries' stance than I.

A tray full of GOLD is not worth a moment in time.
The Americans aren't ready for a multipolar world. They will try their hardest to make sure it never happens.
Y'all should be thinking about emerging India more, and the geostrategic implications. China becoming the "World's biggest country" is a done deal

Bipolar Excess all the way don my end.
The Book of Changes reflects he endless flux of Ying and Yang or as we witnessed in the Wagatha Christie sage between Bling and Bang.
Having witnessed a world where people oppose others for being the wrong sort of Christian/Muslim/Jew or having different levels of melanin, or Meltonian on their smeekers,. I conclude I am happy to spend most of my time with by and large very tolerant laissez faire rural Thais, few shops in London or Sydney where you can get pissed on teir sofa , change channel on their tV and reach for a bag of nuts while leering at the dogs /nongs and village idiot in the mirror.
Some do find the solipsistic torpor and apathy due to hope of reincarnation /lottery win/Jatukomorgasmatronic Medallions but by and large fish and rice and the odd chant seem preferable to the Europups latest civil War and the horrors of Chinese state not people.

We are already in a multipolar world. We have been since the cold War days. Some may argue that is why there are wars, despite the idea behind the UN.
Aside from the cringe-factor, though a redneck style is yours already, why should anyone think about an 'emerging' India? When will this happen? How will this happen? What will make this happen?
Easy - it won't. Added to which, it isn't part of the Indian psyche, unlike China who has always had a chip on its unbalanced shoulder.
Umm, yea . . . nah, no matter how often you tell yourself that.

By the last quarter of this century, the USA will likely be the worlds third largest economy after China and India. Do pay attention.
Jesus hoho's a dickhead.
The Chinkies are going for a unipolar world.
With them being the 'uni'.
